Facebook banned in Vietnam????

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 7 September 2011 | Views [470]

So I'm trying to connect to Facebook and it keeps saying

"DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken."

Could Facebook be banned here?? Surely not!!

But hey I just did some research and found that:

"Vietnam has supposedly been refusing users access to Facebook since late 2009. But given that Facebook is seeking inroads into Vietnam via a local Policy & Growth Manager, this is questionable. The only official confirmation of this ban has been a deafening silence from the government on the subject. Oh, and a leaked circular purportedly from the government that stipulated Facebook should be banned."

Well I am certainly having trouble getting access! Wow, my first experience being in a country where they are censoring Facebook! Wlecome to Communist Vietnam! Apparently Twitter is banned here too... Hmmm, so no more Facebook for me until October!! :(
